I can honestly say that this is a MUST read Trilogy that will have you captivated by the characters, seduced by the chemistry and enthralled by the story. This final book shows us the lengths Connor will go to in order to protect the woman he loves and the strength Sophie finds in herself to fight for what she wants.... her life back from those that tried to destroy her! Connor and Sophie's story was a beautiful journey about finding who you truly are and being grateful for a second chance at love!

CONNOR AND SOPHIE ARE EVERYTHING! THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING!!! FIVE STARS AND MANY, MANY MORE IF POSSIBLE!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is the third and final book of the Infamous Trilogy series by author Ivy Wild! It follows Sophie after a misunderstanding which leaves her thinking that Connor betrayed her! 💔
Will Connor and Sophie find their HEA? Will she be able to get back what she worked for, for so many years?
I can honestly say that this book rivals the first of the three in terms of how much i loved it!!! I couldn't put it down, i devoured it, finished it in less than half a day!!
Connor's devotion and love for Sophie was amazing to read 💕 He is so fierce in how he loves and protects her, i swooned over him!!! He was always so certain of his feelings for Sophie, never once doubted or thought twice of whether they belonged together or not!
An amazing surprise was Sophie's friendship to Skyler. I was so pleasantly surprised because what annoys me usually is that in other books the "friend" usually turns into an enemy or a traitor. Why? We end up reading about a friendship and immediately think "okay, when will the betrayal come?". So, i really liked the fact that their friendship was genuine and real ❤️👭❤️
Oh, and the STEAM is WAY OFF THE CHARTS! DANGEROUS LEVELS! Read with caution 😉 The author is on another level with writing intimate sex scenes! The couple's sex moments were FIRE (🔥🔥🔥). I hate vanilla romance, i really like to read about passion and fire, and lust, and rough sex, and dirty-talking, and alpha men and willing women who are not afraid to explore. And this book had it all! 🔥 I love Connor's dirty talk and name-calling, and i loved that this book showed that it IS okay to enjoy filthy, dirty sex and name-calling during sex. And most books don't deliver that. It's like authors are afraid that if the couple "talks" during sex, we would think less of the heroine or something. This book has A LOT OF HOT AF sex scenes, and especially the last one was EPIC!!!
Five effing stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, and i LITERALLY cannot wait to read the author's next work!!!

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.
Sophie Stronglen (aka Sophia Strong) is a pop singer whose music career was abruptly cut short after her music label assigned her to another music management. After learning that running away from her problems and the public finding out her whereabouts in her hometown, she decides to go back to face the music in Los Angeles to protect Connor from her own scandal. Sophie starts finding out how deep into trouble she is by trusting the wrong people.
Connor Driscoll knows he’s in love with Sophie. He’s been waiting so long to claim her as his own. After bumping into her and coming back into his life again all those years, he is not letting her slip his fingers without a good fight. As he learns more about what happened to Sophie five years ago, the more he is stepping up his game to win her back. He is ready to risk it all for their relationship because, at the end of all this, they will be beating the odds for their HEA.
The story takes readers after Running from Fate‘s scene of Sophie seeing Connor in her sleazy music agent’s office. She learns a lot about what happened and how deceit is bigger than she first thought it to be.
I am in pins and needles as I read through this final chapter in Connor and Sophie. I am also in a dilemma in trying to savor the book while wanting to get to the end at the same time. I cried ugly when secrets during the missing years between Connor and Sophie came out. It felt very unfair and cruel but I know that is why they are fighting harder and with a vengeance this time for themselves. Connor does a superb job with his wit and foresight of helping Sophie take back her life again. Also, Sophie has matured a lot since she started in the first book. She’s more confident and very brave. She did so well for herself in being true to her heart and protecting her and Connor’s relationship. What do you expect from a man who flipped a dying business into a thriving billion-dollar company within a few years?
The bedroom scenes are as steamier and more than ever! Sophie, who is so used to looking out for herself, starts exploring what it means to give control over to Connor who has been very willing to get it and protect Sophie. Connor is turning into an alpha dominate partner to Sophie and I couldn’t be happier. There are a few darker scenes in this book versus the previous books so the connection between them on trust and control is solidified to make up for all the lost years.
There are also more interesting characters in the mix that will make Connor’s and Sophie’s lives a test of how far each will go. Good thing that there’s also good friends and resources like Skylar and Gus to help the couple along…plus some unexpected ones in the end. The old and new cast of allies and villains all came together for this book’s finale.
This book series is great! Readers are very fortunate not to have to wait too long between three books since Ivy released them close to each other. She does an absolutely wonderful job of engaging her readers through “the good, the bad and ugly” of Connor and Sophie’s story. Explosive on paper is all I can say since I'm happy and at the same time, surprised/shocked with how it all turned out! All the revelations and exposed secrets that do come out in the end that is woven and wrapped so pretty like a gift to readers. It is Ivy’s ode to all loyal readers who stayed on till the very end…please do stay till the end.
Thank you, Ivy!

Sophie walked off and looked out the window at the city below her. She hated it. She hated everything about this place and just being here made her angry. Los Angeles had stolen everything from her.

If he was being honest, he worried that if he did let her leave, he would never see her again. He was unwilling to entertain that thought.

Beating the odds starts off where Running from Fates left off~ Sophie running from Connor.. she feels betrayed & hurt!! “Beating the odds” was seriously hot and the sex scenes were explosive... This book had all the feels, the storyline was gripping & the characters were relatable & loveable.. I loved following Connor & Sophie’s journey, facing the many obstacles in their way & watching their relationship grow! Skyler is the bestie every girl needs, I loved her character and would love to know her story! This is the final book in the series~ Is Sophie’s career & reputation finished for good, will Connor fall to ruin trying to help save it and will these high school besties have a happily ever after?!
August 6, 2020
This book starts off right where book two ended. Connor did an amazing job at working his magic to get Sophie away from those slime balls at Tymar Records. But now he needs to get the songs that are still owned by Charisma. But they have to go up against the secretive Xavier Payne who seems to be clean as a whistle when it comes to the private investigator Connor uses but the rumors don’t seem to fit with that image.
This was a really great ending for Connor and Sophia! The love those two have for each other is so sweet and boy are they sexy together! Of course we have the steamy “sessions” between them. I really loved this trilogy. I thought it was definitely a great start to Ivy Wild’s writing career and I hope to see more from her soon!

The END!
I absolutely loved this series.
The 3rd and final installment from the Infamous series was the perfect ending to a rollercoaster of emotions!
After the way the story was left in Running from Fate, I was thinking that Sophie was about to give up on Connor and their re-kindled love. She was thinking her problems in the spotlight and the rumours circling were going to bring him and his business down. Little did she know that Connor was back in her life and would risk everything he had to be with her.
Connor did everything in his power to get Sophie the justice she deserved after being treated to badly by her record label, although he was warned several times about the head business 'crime mobster' Xavier Payne.
But nothing and nobody was stopping Connor from getting justice for his woman. So he dealt with him head on. Mix this with some hot s*x scenes and you've got yourself a winner.
Again, loved the whole series.
Add this to your TBR! Ivy Wild is a fabulous writer.

I was given this book by the author in return for an honest review
Oh gosh it was so lovely to catch up with Connor and Sophie again, what a beautiful couple that are just so perfect together. These two have a great love for each other and it just shows with everything they do for one another.
Connor absolutely adores Sophie and he would go to the ends of the earth for her, who doesn't want a man like that in their lives. Sophie is really vulnerable with what has gone on in her past and really doubts herself sometimes but Connor is quick to remind her that she is just fine.
We started this book at the back of a cliffhanger, one where Sophie was full of anger and disbelief, one that could of ended in tragedy, one that saw her running from everything she thought she believed in.
Could this book be the one where Sophie stops running?
We should also touch on the sex scenes, the first two in the series were seriously HOT and I'm not kidding but they got HOTTER and DIRTIER and I really did not think that could of been possible 🍆🔥 Connor sure knows how to talk dirty 🔥
This book was a fabulous read and a great end to this trilogy. I enjoyed each book more than the previous and this one gets a definite well deserved 5 stars. The book and the characters flowed so well together, I will miss this pair but I'm looking forward to see what you write next.
This is a quick easy read and could be devoured in one sitting. I read it until I couldn't keep my eyes open then woke up and finished it 🤣📖☕
Thank you so much for reaching out and asking me to read these, it's been a pleasure both reading the books and getting to know you too. ❤❤❤

AMAZING ENDING..
This book picks up right from where it ended in book 2.This book portrays the depths Connor is willing to go,to ensure Sophie is in command of her own future.Sophie on the other hand still doesn't feel worthy of Connor.
I'm so glad that the book ended on a high note with everyone happy in the end.
I really loved the entire series and how the author was able to connect all the books together flawlessly with each book picking up from where the previous one end...
Thank you so much Ivy for introducing me to the world of Connor and Sophie...
I thoroughly enjoyed this series.It had a perfect balance of everything.

So in this final book we get our closure on this series and I was left wanting more, the story line was perfectly paired through the book and how you kept me reading without putting the book down as we continued falling in love with them and see where you took us was wonderful, the final ups and downs made the book and how you put all the characters together made it wholesome (hope to read about those characters later on ).
Just so you know this series is definitely becoming part of my go to bookshelf, congratulations @ivywildauthor glad that I had the privilege to read and review the infamous series, hope to see more of your work

Connor will stop at nothing to be with Sophie now. He is determined to get everything back what was taken from Sophie. How will Sophie and Connor beat all the odds to be together?
It is a perfect ending to the Triology by the author that will make the readers fall in love with the characters of Sophie and Connor even more. It is a complete romance novel with a lot of steamy scenes which makes it perfect book for all the romance book readers.
Personal take:
After the nail biting cliff hanger at the end of the second book the story moves forward.
Connor's character is amazing and I was smiling the whole time reading the series and was really happy with the storyline. Can't wait for the author's next series

I really enjoyed Beating the Odds, it was a great conclusion to an enjoyable trilogy. It’s everything you want in a romance novel, a love to get lost in and a whole heap of steam🥵 I have to say, I was so shocked by the ending!
The one thing I would’ve liked to have known was what was said in Connor and Skyler’s conversation where she told him what she knew of Payne.
The book leaves you thinking... where the hell can I find me a Connor Driscoll?! The way he’s willing to put everything he has built on the line for Sophie leaves you in awe of him.
Overall an easy, steamy and enjoyable read! A must for romance fans!

Looking forward to reading more books by Ivy Wild!

What a magnificently and passionately amazing ending to this trilogy!! Tears were flowing throughout reading the entire book, luckily I was able to read it in a day as I was only able to put it down to sleep. Ivy Wild has done yet another amazing job of keeping the readers on the edge of their seats anticipating every turn of the page. There is so much excitement, so much desire, and followed by so much intimacy and passion!
The trials and tribulations these two have gone through is enough to break down any relationship. Between their love for each other (not to mention their extremely passionate sexual encounters), even the toughest obstacles are able to break their connection! I don’t want to go too much into detail as anyone who has read the series could easily figure out the ending but I will warn everyone, keep tissues on hand for an amazing ending to an awesome series!!

After the cliffhanger of the previous book, I’m so happy with the way this one started! Connor and Sophie’s love story is beautiful- they experienced so much in such a short period of time.
Connor will stop at nothing to ensure that Sophie is safe and in control of her own destiny... and the ending! Im in love with these two.
Oh, and my gosh. The steamy scenes are not in short supply here - get ready to blush. Connor is in control, and Sophie LOVES it.
I kinda want a mini epilogue set a few years after - just pure happiness!

A great conclusion
Connor and Sophie’s story has come to an end and what a ride it was. Their relationship came with a lot of issues caused by outside forces and it wasn’t until the very end that things finally calmed down for them.
One thing was clear as day: Connor loved Sophie beyond anything. Their relationship was hot and passionate, but even more so, their love ran at a soul level. In a lot of ways, they both brought each other to life.
As things progressed throughout this third installment, all my questions were answered and everything came full circle which I was happy about. I’m curious to know if the author plans to write Skyler’s book. I loved her character and it seems like she had a backstory as well. Not to mention, I feel like she deserves a happy ending too.
Great characters, interesting plot, and overall, a must-read trilogy! Five stars.
Connor and Sophie’s story has come to an end and what a ride it was. Their relationship came with a lot of issues caused by outside forces and it wasn’t until the very end that things finally calmed down for them.
One thing was clear as day: Connor loved Sophie beyond anything. Their relationship was hot and passionate, but even more so, their love ran at a soul level. In a lot of ways, they both brought each other to life.

This book was filled with not only amazing chemistry between Connor and Sophie but mystery and intrigue! I was left needing to know what would happen next after reading Running From Fate and I was not disappointed! Ivy has created a story that will keep you reading until you finish and then wishing there was more because you fell in love with the characters. I really enjoyed this story and she's left me hoping that she might write about some of the secondary characters as well, because I want to know more about them and stay in this world! If you hadn't already fallen in love with Connor at this point, this book will seal the deal. Sophie is such a great heroine and the two of them together is fire. Ivy has written an awesome ending to this trilogy and I can't wait to read more by her!

Incredible Ending!
This is the last book of this trilogy and what amazing ending this was!
So we pick up after the shocking events of book two and wow! I was so nervous waiting for what was happening. There is still lots of drama and shocking revelations, Connor is still fighting to protect and put an end to Sophie's struggles with the Charisma records. Xavier Payne finally makes an appearance and I don't know if I like him or not but I'm complete intrigued with his character and hope I get more him.
Sophie and Connor's chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS HOT and their second chance at love is something you don't want to miss reading.
I think this trilogy was a fantastic read and this third book in particular blew my mind, I just devoured this story and I'm so happy I got to met another amazing author.

Not A Favorite
I read all three books of this series. I didn't review book one because I dont think it would have been very nice at all. I read book two hoping it would get better. It did. But overall I wasn't all that impressed with the writing or the story. Sophie is a college senior, she is going to business school. But she is a musician. She plays guitar and sings. Connor is her best friend. And they are in love with eachother. She gets signed to a very nasty contract and moves to LA leaving Connor behind. But five years later she is back and they fall back together. After the record label ruins her it's up to Conner to pull it back together for her.

Loved this entire series but this one is definitely my favourite of the 3!
Seeing Sophie and Connor journey come to an end was so bitterly sweet and satisfying.
Loved the drama they faced and how the story turned out so differently from how I expected.
Cannot wait to read more from this author.

Connor and Sophie’s chemistry made them not only share a fiery hot relationship but it also made them incredible partners.
These 2 really worked together so Sophie got everything she deserved and they were able to finally have their happily ever after.

Great Read!
This series had me hooked from the start. It was very steamy, funny and had a little drama. Everything you love in a book. I love second chance romance so that made me enjoy it even more.
Definitely give this one a try!

Beating the Odds is the final book in the Infamous trilogy. You must read it in order, as this book continues right where it was left off Running From Fate. It was full of emotion, drama, intrigue and twists, that I read it all in a afternoon. Connor proves he will do anything he can for Sophie. These two have undeniable chemistry, and so much love for one another. I'm looking forward to reading more of this author's stories.
